Chapter Fifteen

“Papa?”

Addie squinted through the small barred opening of the cell door and tried to make out the form of her father.

“Ford Magee?”

A slow drip worked its weary rhythm somewhere behind her, its sound echoing from the stone walls and dying away just before the next drop fell. Something on the other side of the door moved.

“Papa, please say something.” Addie punctuated her plea with a soft tap on the heavy door.

But even as she begged him to speak, she was afraid of what he might say. Or what he might not say.

Just being near to him, though, brought the first calm she’d felt since she’d watched the paddy wagon door close behind her father the night before. When he was ready to speak, she’d be ready to listen.

Addie welcomed the silence of the deserted hall, with its cold, fortressed stone that stood between her and the city. Here was a place she found she could think for the first time today.

Her legs were weary from walking the streets and climbing stairs to look at sixth floor rat infested rooms. How had she managed to find the Grayburn Arms so easily less than two months ago? There was nothing remotely close to it available now.
